air helper springs will:
Keep the vehicle level - improve steering
control, level headlight beams and reduce tire
wear.
Level off-center loads - individual inflation
valves allow for adjustment side-to-side.
Reduce suspension fatigue - keep leaf springs
from sagging under repeated or constant load.
Air adjustment improves the ride - allowing the
air springs to be matched to the load.
Reduce bottoming out - protective air cushion
softens contact between the axle and frame.
Increase vehicle stability - absorbing road shock
providing ideal ride conditions for passengers
and load.
Ride-Rite
®
and Sport-Rite™
air helper springs can be
installed on most light
trucks, RV’s and vans.
Ride-Rite and Sport-Rite air
helper springs are installed
between the frame of the
vehicle and the suspension
providing load support
through the use of air
pressure.
Firestone has made a
commitment to provide the customer with the best air
helper spring kits in the industry. Ride-Rite has become
synonomous with quality, durability and with customer
support truly second to none.
Ride-Rite and Sport-Rite air helper springs utilize a pair
of convoluted or tapered style air springs. These air
springs are capable of *3,000 - 5,000 lbs of load
leveling capacity per set. It is extremely important to
remember that the air helper springs do not increase a
vehicles carrying capacity. Although the air springs
are capable of lifting a great deal of weight they are
intended to maximize the vehicle’s load capabilities
within the recommended Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.

air helper springs can make in
improving the ride, handling and
braking of your vehicle.
Coil-Rite air helper springs provide
extra support for coil springs in cars,
minivans, vans, light trucks, RV’s
and SUV’s. The complete
adjustability of Coil-Rite air helper
springs will level your vehicle and provide a smoother
ride, more effective braking and handling, even under heavy
loading, adverse road conditions or on rough terrain.
Hose Kit: WR3-760-2131
The Coil-Rite front hose extension kit will allow you
to relocate the inflation valve on your original
equipment air springs from under the vehicle to an
easily accessible area. Ideal for the front air springs on
the GM P30 and Workhorse motorhome chassis.
Includes 18 feet of air line, fittings, fasteners and detailed
instructions.
Increase Coil Spring Performance
Coil-Rite
®
air helper springs are designed to fit inside
existing coil spring suspensions creating a variable rate
spring. These air helper springs are made of durable,
elastic polyurethane providing years of comfort and
stability to your vehicle.
Firestone’s Coil-Rite air helper springs enable adjustment
for varying loads and road conditions by inflating or
deflating the air helper springs. Spring performance can
be altered as easily as inflating a tire.
Coil-Rite
®
air helper springs will:
Increase vehicle stability
Improve steering and balance
Improve braking effectiveness
Prevent “bottoming out”

Air Pressure Requirements
Please note that air pressure amounts will vary depending upon several factors such as load, road conditions and personal
preference. Feel free to experiment with different air pressures to find the ultimate ride for you and your vehicle.
NOTE: Never operate the vehicle without minimum air pressure in the air springs. Failure to maintain proper air pressure
will void all warranties. Release air pressure when raising the vehicle by the frame (this allows the air spring to fully extend).

Firestone’s Loadshare
TM
air helper springs improve the
ride quality on both conventional and cabover trucks.
Ideal for use on refuse compactors, utility trucks,
snowplows, buses, concrete mixers, dump trucks and
trucks equipped with lift axles. Or just about any truck
that has constantly changing loads that effect the front
end of the vehicle.
Universal mounting kits are used to install Loadshare
air helper springs on most class 6, 7 and 8 front
suspensions. Adaptations may be required due to
various engine and driveline combinations. Designed
for straight chassis and highway trucks, including:
Kenworth Ford
Mack Volvo White GMC
Navistar Western Star
Freightliner

TM
air helper springs:
Reduces leaf spring fatigue and tire wear.
Installs quickly on your current suspension.
Maintains proper ride height.
Reduces front end dive while braking.
Improve ride quality.
Reduce the chance of cargo damage.
Loadshare Requirements:
A 5-1/4” clearance radius (measured from spring pack
center bolt) is required for all Loadshare air helper
springs. When installing Loadshare air helper springs
make certain that steering arms, shock absorbers,
brackets, oil filters, etc., do not intrude into this area.
The Loadshare kit is intended for use on primary front
suspensions which have 3-1/2” or 4” leaf spring widths.
Basic Kit:
Each Loadshare kit comes with: two air helper springs,
mounting hardware, airline, and step by step installation
instructions. Plus, an in cab air regulator panel and gauge
that connects to your existing air supply.
Loadshare air helper springs decrease maintenance
and repair costs to both suspension and drivetrain,
keeping the truck out on the road - making money.

Note: Maximum inflation pressure will vary depending on load, pitch and wire diameter of the coil spring. See installation
instructions for minimum and maximum pressures.
Coil-Rite air helper springs are designed to keep your vehicle level or maintain the original ride height of the vehicle.
Do NOT exceed the vehicle’s Recommended Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
Footnote Chart
Notice: Firestone has made every attempt to assure that the air helper spring kits listed will properly fit. Chassis modifications made by others that effect suspension dimensions
may not provide conditions for proper fit. Due to new model introductions and manufacturer changes, Firestone reserves the right to make changes to the list without notification.
Note: Some vehicle manufacturers use brake proportioning valves to adjust braking force as a function of frame to axle distance. If you modify your suspension it effects the function
of this valve. We suggest that you check with your dealer on proper treatment of this device prior to installation of the air helper spring kits.

Discover the difference Coil-Rite
®
air helper springs can make in
improving the ride, handling and
braking of your vehicle.
Coil-Rite air helper springs provide
extra support for coil springs in cars,
minivans, vans, light trucks, RV’s
and SUV’s. The complete
adjustability of Coil-Rite air helper
springs will level your vehicle and provide a smoother
ride, more effective braking and handling, even under heavy
loading, adverse road conditions or on rough terrain.
Hose Kit: WR3-760-2131
The Coil-Rite front hose extension kit will allow you
to relocate the inflation valve on your original
equipment air springs from under the vehicle to an
easily accessible area. Ideal for the front air springs on
the GM P30 and Workhorse motorhome chassis.
Includes 18 feet of air line, fittings, fasteners and detailed
instructions.
Increase Coil Spring Performance
Coil-Rite
®
air helper springs are designed to fit inside
existing coil spring suspensions creating a variable rate
spring. These air helper springs are made of durable,
elastic polyurethane providing years of comfort and
stability to your vehicle.
Firestone’s Coil-Rite air helper springs enable adjustment
for varying loads and road conditions by inflating or
deflating the air helper springs. Spring performance can
be altered as easily as inflating a tire.
Coil-Rite
®
air helper springs will:
Increase vehicle stability
Improve steering and balance
Improve braking effectiveness
Prevent “bottoming out”
Maintain a level vehicle
Keep headlights aimed on the road
Reduce tire wear

Air Pressure Requirements
Please note that air pressure amounts will vary depending upon several factors such as load, road conditions and personal
preference. Feel free to experiment with different air pressures to find the ultimate ride for you and your vehicle.
NOTE: Never operate the vehicle without minimum air pressure in the air springs. Failure to maintain proper air pressure
will void all warranties. Release air pressure when raising the vehicle by the frame (this allows the air spring to fully extend).
